Tudor Takeover
Sat 18 & Sun 19 April 2026
Get ready to step into Tudor England for a whole weekend of fun, history, and a bit of royal drama. Our grounds, the Chapel, and the beautiful Painted Hall will be buzzing with activity as re‑enactors bring the Tudor court back to life.
Across the weekend, you can wander through our historic market and living history camp, enjoy Tudor music and dancing, and catch exciting historic military demonstrations.
Keep an eye out for our added experiences such as talks, archery and calligraphy workshops to learn how letters were crafted long before keyboards existed. Please note: These are mini events that are themed around the takeover and are not included in the General Takeover Ticket.
